Adequate protein supports cellular proliferation
Unlike full-length growth hormone, AOD-9604 selectively targets fat metabolism through beta-3 adrenergic receptor pathways without affecting insulin sensitivity or IGF-1 levels
Mechanism knowledge empowers informed decisions, realistic expectations, and optimized protocols

Protein supplementation combined with resistance training leads to greater preservation of lean mass and strength than training alone. Key point: With adequate protein intake and resistance training, patients can maintainand sometimes increasestrength during GLP-1 therapy despite overall weight loss. Recovery and micronutrients Adequate sleep, hydration, and correction of deficiencies (including vitamin D when present) further support muscle function and recovery. Bottom Line: GLP-1 Medications Improve Body Composition Not Muscle Wasting Semaglutide and tirzepatide do not inherently cause muscle wasting. Most weight lost is fat , and body composition improves. Muscle wasting is primarily a risk of undernutrition , not GLP-1 therapy itself. Protein + resistance training is the most effective strategy to preserve muscle. At Potere Health MD, GLP-1 and GIP therapy is paired with evidence-based nutrition and strength guidance so weight loss is healthier, stronger, and more sustainable

Some patients may tolerate one route better than another, but route alone does not eliminate side effect risk
It helps you feel fuller for longer, which can reduce cravings and prevent overeating
